HC Deb 14 February 1968 vol 758 cc355-6W
83. Mr. Woof

asked the Minister of Transport whether she will give a general direction to the Railways Board that in order to minimise disruption of road traffic, work on railway tracks which involves closures of level crossings should always be done on Sundays, and that full and early notice should be given to the public in the area concerned so that they can seek alternative routes.

Mr. John Morris:

No. I understand from the Railways Board that it is already their practice to carry out such work on Sundays wherever possible and to consult in advance the police and the highway authority.
